1 Hallelujah!Praise the name of Yahweh.Give praise, you servants of Yahweh
2 who stand in the house of Yahweh,in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise Yahweh, for Yahweh is good;sing praise to His name, for it is delightful.
4 For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for Himself,Israel as His treasured possession.
5 For I know that Yahweh is great;our Lord is greater than all gods.
6 Yahweh does whatever He pleasesin heaven and on earth,in the seas and all the depths.
7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth.He makes lightning for the rainand brings the wind from His storehouses.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,both man and beast.
9 He sent signs and wonders against you, Egypt,against Pharaoh and all his officials.
10 He struck down many nationsand slaughtered mighty kings:
11 Sihon king of the Amorites,Og king of Bashan,and all the kings of Canaan.
12 He gave their land as an inheritance,an inheritance to His people Israel.
13 Yahweh, Your name endures forever,Your reputation, Yahweh,through all generations.
14 For Yahweh will vindicate His peopleand have compassion on His servants.
15 The idols of the nations are of silver and gold,made by human hands.
16 They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.
17 They have ears but cannot hear;indeed, there is no breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them are just like them,as are all who trust in them.
19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh!You who revere the Lord, praise the Lord!
21 May the Lord be praised from Zion; He dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
